A council meeting convened to debate and pass budget on Friday, 27th May, 2022 ended prematurely after the councilors stormed out.
The angry councilors accuse the Chief Administrative Officer, Franco Olaboro of excess mistreatment and disrespect.
Masika David, a councilor representing Bukokho Sub County told this website that councilors are demanding allowances for two council meetings. Masika explains that the accounting officer failed to assure councilors on when they will be receiving their money. Masika also said it was unfair to continue with council when CAO and other district officials were not in council.
Bwayo Emma, the Namisindwa Male Youth Councillor says in the last council, CAO promised to give a comprehensive report on recruitment which he says was marred by irregularities and extortion.
Bwayo adds that the district recruited more staff than stations and currently struggling to deploy and pay them. He asked for immediate transfer of the CAO.
Mwelu Noah, the Bukhabusi Sub county Councilor says the CAO was supposed to account for Shs900M meant for repairs on schools in the last term but that the money which was released and spent does not show value for work done.
Efforts by the Resident District Commissioner, Fredrick Bangu to calm down the councilor was futile as they abandoned the council session.
